China News Service, Vancouver, September 28. Annami Paul, a leader of the Canadian Green Party who has served less than a year, announced in Toronto on September 27 that he would resign.
In the recent election for the 44th Federal House of Representatives in Canada, Paul lost in his constituency, making the Green Party the only political party that has parliamentary seats but failed to make it to the House of Representatives.
At the same time, the number of seats won by the party has also been reduced from 3 seats in the last general election to 2 seats in the current election.
Paul said that he resigned because he could not bear the leadership review initiated by party members who were critical of her after the election.
Paul was elected as the first black female leader of a federal political party in Canada in early October last year.
In May of this year, Paul's remarks on the Middle East issue caused dissatisfaction within the party, leading a Federal House member of the Green Party to switch to the Liberal Party.
Since then, the criticism of Paul within the party has clearly risen.
Paul has black and Jewish ancestry and is a descendant of Caribbean immigrants who were born in Canada.
Before joining the political arena, as a non-practicing lawyer, she worked in international institutions such as the International Criminal Court and the Canadian Mission to the European Union.
